A Patriotic Public Service Announcement

This is your eye:

This is your eye on fireworks (or weedeaters for that matter):

Any questions?

This patriotic public service announcement brought to you by Mike the Eyeguy who reminds you:

“If you plan to have some fireworks fun, then your safety glasses you must don.”

I usually spend July 5th and 6th picking pieces of this and that out of my patients’ eyes or treating hyphemas (blood in the eye) like the bottom picture.

This year, I got an early start. Mr. Bottom Picture came in yesterday.

Wal-Mart and Sam’s sell multipacks of relatively inexpensive polycarbonate safety glasses. They’re great for passing out to kids at fireworks parties.

It’s very dry here. If a Roman Candle were to land in my backyard, the whole neighborhood would likely go up like a tinderbox.

I’m hoping to avoid that. Maybe I better go hook up the water hose.

Ouch. That looks painful.

DV–Ha! Ever the opportunist! 🙂

“Fun” does not ryhme with “don.”

Cheers!

Oy vey! So many critics, so few artists…

P.S. And “rhyme” is not spelled “ryhme!”

I think 50% discounts are for 1 eye only!

I think Dr. Double Vision just blinked.
